Synopsis
In this new telling of European warfare—and European history through the continent's all too numerous wars and conflicts—William Nester describes millennia of armed conflict. He covers the "greatest hits" of military history both ancient and current: Thermopylae, the Peloponnesian War, the wars of the Roman Empire across the continent, the Battle of Hastings, the Crusades, Agincourt, Waterloo, Napoleon and Wellington, the Somme, the Spanish Civil War, Stalingrad and Normandy, Churchill, Hitler, and Stalin, Bosnia, and up through Putin's attempts to redraw the map of Europe.
Land of War is an epic odyssey from Europe's mythic origins through its latest violent conflicts.
